How did you test the alternator? Take it off and get it tested at an auto parts store?
Did you test the battery?
Did you test the battery?
Yes i first i took it off and had it tested then i changed it all together and ive tried 3 diff batteries in it
I would look at the battery cables. Specifically the negative cable and it's ground connection. Also the battery connectors could be an issue.
It seems like im getting power to fuse block under hood but not under dash? Woldent that kill power all the way around not just the lower one?
But the car starts right up....plus why would i have no power too doors,guages,windows,blinkers,power door locks?cause of that?

I think a lot of those are wired through the GAUGE fuse in the dash fuse panel. Most common issue is that the trunk wiring harness gets broken wires after so many opens and closes, and shorts to ground, blowing the aforementioned fuse. Then you lose gauges, door locks, windows, and battery charging.
Ok so check wiring going to trunk? Then i assume would be next step.....it actually looks like it was messed with b4.....on drivers side
